Custom Server Control's click event not firing 1

[tperri]

I created a few custom server controls, where I basically added some property fields to an ImageButton, LinkButton, so on and so forth.

When I am in debug mode in VS.Net 2008 express web edition, and set break points on the code within the click event, it never gets hit. However, if I place a normal BUtton control on the page, the code is reached.

Any thoughts on why this would happen?

Thanks in advance!

are the events wired to the controls?
I prefer to explicitly wire my events in the Init event instead of using declartive markup.

public class MyPage : Page
{
   public MyPage()
   {
      Init += WireEvents;
   }

   private void WireEvents(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      MyButton.Click += ClickMyButton;
   }

   private void ClickMyButton(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      //do work here
   }
}

markup would look like this

<asp:Button id="MyButton" runat="server" OnClick="ClickMyButton" />

protected void ClickMyButton(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   //do work here
}

I didn't explicitly wire them up. I can do that - I was just wondering if this was normal behavior when creating these kinds of controls.

Thanks
